Contexto:
Inquiry learning, used frequently in integrated classrooms, consists of a classroom environment and student activities in which students are encouraged to pursue answers to the questions they have raised. The teacher plans an appropriate structure and "scaffolding" so students can progress on their own or in teams through a cycle of thoughtful and disciplined investigations. In the cycle, students identify questions; explore possibilities; construct explanations, interpretations, or solutions; and then evaluate and revise their initial thinking. An explicit goal of inquiry learning is to put students in the driver's seat of learning as they consider alternative and sometimes competing explanations, solutions, or hypotheses; debate investigative methods; argue about interpretations; and defend conclusions or proposed solutions.
